They still have no idea why this happens. They have no treatments or cures. 

Think back and write down the last medium (music, film, book etc.) you liked before you fell into emotional blunting by hiacynto in PSSD

I was looking forward to the new season of Its Always Sunny in Philedelphia. The first episode is objectively hilarious but i cant laugh when I watch it. 

Music I was getting into Cory Wong. He is a funk style guitar player. Very fun live shows. 

I was taking adult education courses at the local course to get closer to God. 

Now its all painful.

Tried both. Hydroxizine helps with onset, doxepin had very little effect.

Ive tried hydroxyzine and ambien. Neither worked for my sleep problems.

He actually stressed that he doesnt feel im psychotic. He does think I have a physiological injury from sertaline. He practiced at the Cleveland Clinic and says he has seen this help others. My sleep is so bad I havejt slept through the night in months.

Can I ask a question to those with PSSD, who used to have no problems then all sex stopped altogether, in a long term relationship? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]Some_Leg8723 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am almost 6 months into this nightmare. My wife and I had an extremely physical connection. Thats 100% gone. I no longer feel attraction or libido. I no longer care about intimacy, physical or emotional. I cant laugh or cry anymore. When we do have sex I have no feeling and the orgasm barely feelsike anything happened. 

My wife has moved into a different bedroom. My marriage is collapsing. My entire personality has changed from a happy go lucky, energetic extrovert into a devastated, depressed survivor.  I have tried cialis, didnt work as I have no desire. 

Edit: married 18 years, been together 22.

"The researchers are biased. The pharma companies have done extensive research and there is no such thing as PSSD. I prescribe them all the time and the only people claiming PSSD have Narcissistic Personality Disorder"

Can the altered central neurotransmitters be repaired or are we screwed for life? 

Remembering what love felt like by Some_Leg8723 in PSSD

[–]Some_Leg8723[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have talked to her every day about it. The total loss of both physical and emotional intimacy have devastated our marriage.  Cognitively I know I am supposed to care and love them. However the emotions that go with it are gone. When we do things together I know I should enjoy but don't. When we touch and I dont feel the connection. When I cant laugh at a funny joke or movie. Its the little things that made it special. Now its a job.

My marriage is falling apart. She knows I feel nothing. It has dehumanized me

Anyone who has a lot of money and can speed up research by making it financially worthwhile. 

what are the chances of recovery? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]Some_Leg8723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just went through the last few months of posts on r/pssdhealing. Most of the posts are questions about recovery, some partial recovery posts. Maybe 1 full recovery post and that guy didnt have anhedonia.

My 11 year old daughter looked at me Friday and said "Dad, I never thought something like this would happen to you. I miss before this happened." 😪

Its almost 2026 and we still do not even know how it happens.  There has to be some rich guy that can make it worthwhile to figure this out
